Have you noticed the packaging of salad dressing, ketchup, and chocolate sauce that we usually use? When you buy the paste-like foods you need in the supermarket, do you want to know their production process? Paste filling machines have changed the cumbersome and inefficient traditional manual filling. Whether in large factories or small processing sites, you will find them. They can not only improve work efficiency but also save costs. Today I will lead you into the world of mechanical equipment and introduce to you how paste filling machines work.

Next, I will give you a comprehensive introduction to the working steps of the paste filling machine, so that you can further understand its working principle and advanced technology. How does the paste filling machine work?

Feeding

You can put the materials to be packaged into the hopper of the paste machine, such as viscous objects such as ketchup, chocolate sauce, honey, etc. The hopper will be set according to the viscosity and fluidity of the material, such as a screw feeder or a pressure feeding device.

Mixing
When the material is fed into the hopper, the hopper of the machine will be equipped with a powerful agitator for stirring. You can set different speeds and modes of rotation. The agitator will fully stir the paste and mix it to achieve the best mixing effect.

Heating or cold treatment
If the material is easy to solidify or needs to be kept smooth at a certain temperature, such as chocolate sauce, which is easy to solidify in winter, we need the heating element of the insulation hopper to heat it and control the temperature of the paste to smoothly feed it.

Filling

After stirring and keeping the paste warm, the paste begins to enter the filling. The plc system will discharge the material according to the gram weight you set, pass through the discharge pipe through the former, pull the film into the roll film, and package the set gram weight.

Sealing

After the above steps, the paste comes to the sealing. The machine heats the aluminum block to the temperature you set through heating elements such as resistance wire and heating tube. The machine recognizes the paste and pulls the film. The sealing aluminum block will be cut. The high temperature will melt the roll film. After cooling, it can be tightly sealed. It is cut into bags and then transported.

After understanding the working principle of the paste filling machine, I would like to introduce its advantages to you.

Efficient work saves time cost
The paste filling machine can improve the work efficiency of the machine for you. The machine works very fast and can pack hundreds of packages in one hour. You can choose different models of machines, which occupy a small area and work in multiple positions, improve production efficiency, and race against time to save time cost for you.

Accurate weighing reduces waste
The precise control system of the paste filling machine checks our gram weight. Accurate weighing avoids the error of manual weighing and can reduce the loss caused by inaccurate gram weight. The machine can be set differently according to your filling weight and speed to meet your different packaging needs.

Intelligent operation is  simple and easy to learn

The paste filling machine adopts advanced PLC control system. We will customize the machine plan according to your production needs and materials, and we will help you debug the machine to the best state before sending it to you. When you receive the machine, you only need to assemble and set it up to use the machine. The machine has an intelligent control panel. Just press the operation button and the machine can work directly according to the instructions. The operator only needs simple training.

Basically, the working steps of the paste filling machine are feeding, stirring, heating or cold treatment, feeding, and packaging. However, the most indispensable advanced PLC control system in these working steps is that the operator only needs to set the packaging weight, filling speed, and filling specifications, and the system will assign instructions to work.

Paste filling machines are widely used. In the food industry, they are used to package ketchup, chocolate sauce, honey, etc. In the cosmetics industry, they are used to package face cream, hand cream, lotion samples, and in the chemical industry, they are used to package glue, etc.

Therefore, the paste filling machine provides paste canning solutions for various industries through its advantages of high speed and precision.
